Sheetfed Offset--Running With The Big Dogs

Versatility is a key factor in the eyes of MAN Roland's Sheetfed Press Div., according to Jon Surch, director of sheetfed product marketing. Units that have the capability of printing jobs ranging from commercial work to e-flute carton stock are highly desirable. MAN Roland offers its 900 Series press in the 56˝ format (13,000 sph) and the 700 Series in the 40˝ format. The 900 was introduced as a packaging press, but has also enjoyed considerable success with commercial sheetfed work, churning out product that is close to twice the size of the 700 format. Both models are being shown at DRUPA this month.
